The sun shone

Flaunting its power

Its might

Its strength.

It is so glaring

It must be the brightest thing

in the world

I thought

But I was wrong

You were

It was actually raining

The day I met you

You were wearing a grey T-shirt and blue

jeans

In a way I cannot understand

I was drawn to you

Like a moth to a fire

Death was the price to pay

I comprehended this

But it wouldn’t stop me

Deep inside my heart

There was a voice

So soft

Yet clear

It said

He is your destiny

You walked past me

Starlight glimmering on your hair and in your

eyes

The light of the moon above the rim of the

hills fell about your feet

So beautiful

So breathtaking

I was enchanted

Love is the strongest magic potion

And you must be my pharmacist

My heart used to be cold

You warmed it

My heart used to be dead

You awakened it

My heart used to be dark

You kindled it

How rapturous when I was with you

Every breath was filled with a sweet aroma

Every glance was full of joy

Every encounter was soaked with surprise

I surrendered to evanescent merry

Although I knew that not long after

We would drift apart

It was a day just like any other

Nothing seemed too unusual

Only your empty bed told the silent truth

My heart today smiles at its past night of tears

My love today finds no home in the nest

deserted by yesterday’s love

The fire of pain traces my soul,

a luminous path across her sorrow

You leave my memory as a flame,

to my lonely lamp of separation
